Definition of  Shankara is extracted from a Sanskrit Yoga Dictionary by Georg Feuerstein

" Traditional Yoga Studies Interactive (TYSI) was launched  by Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D., and Nimish Shah at the beginning of 2004  as an independent effort dedicated to promoting knowledge and understanding  of the traditional teachings of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jaina Yoga.

Traditional  Yoga Studies Interactive is associated but not legally connected with  Traditional Yoga Studies (TYS) , which is a company registered in Canada and directed by Brenda Schlitz. TYS’s work revolves around  administering an 800-hour distance-learning course on Yoga, which was  designed by Georg Feuerstein. TYSI, again, essentially operates the interactive  website.

The above two related but independent endeavors represent  a continuation of Georg Feuerstein’s work with Yoga Research and  Education Center, which he founded in 1996 as a nonprofit organization  and served as its  president and director until late 2003. The reason for his resignation  was entirely personal, arising mainly from a desire to simplify his work  and life.”
